Spooks s08e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
Unidentified government agents talk of a new world order.
Are you implying we may both have some bad apples in our cart? I got a list of mobile phones active in the same cell about the time of his death.
- And? - One of them was Sarah Caulfield's.
Sarah was no more than five metres away when he fell.
When I called Sam to meet, he told me he'd come by the office later.
She lied.
Plain and simple.
The question is, was she working for the Agency or had she gone freelance? - I really don't know.
- 'I suggest we find out.
' I don't care about that.
Things have changed now.
This is not the time to go quiet on us.
- You need to be listening to me.
Come on.
- You should be listening to me.
Listen Baisley, we are paying you a lot of money to blow DeWits Bank wide open! I don't think you've been listening to me.
Tell us where the information is! Why are you getting angry? She's getting angry.
I should be getting angry here.
Baisley, you have been secretly recording the names of depositors from one of the world's nastiest offshore banks.
Amongst those tax-dodging celebrities is a healthy smattering of drug barons, warlords and dictators.
What do you think they're going to want to do to you when they discover you have been recording their names? I wasn't ready.
You pulled me in early.
You said to record information for six months.
It has been four months.
- Give us the information you have! - Is she shouting at me? She's really mean, isn't she? Look, you have changed the terms of the agreement.
I think that that calls for a re-negotiation.
You get over $200,000 for those account numbers.
Please! Do you think I am stupid? Look at the security here! - My life is over now! - You came into this with your eyes open.
We told you the risks.
I just think that a more realistic figure would be five.
Million, I mean.
Five million.
Look, I have the DeWits accounts.
I have the names.
I have clear evidence of illegal earnings and tax evasion in the billions.
The economy's in the toilet.
We're all screwed without that money.
So, come on, what do I get? I'm giving you the most corrupt bank in history.
Where are you going? Cash point.
Five million, was it? I just think I should get something more! While you think about what you should get, think about this.
We're shouting at you, but some of the people whose names you've got, they don't shout, they scream, so you think about screaming.
I'm not scared, you know! You need me! - You know we'll have to pay him? - Yeah.
You should give him to us.
What for? A nice little holiday in Algeria? A spot of water sports? Yeah, we don't do that any more.
No, got hybrid cars and everything now.
Excuse me! I just need to get a cigarette.
Oh, come on, I'll open the window! Agh! Agh! 'You're through to Sophie and Ethan Baisley.
Please leave a message.
' 'Sophie! Sophie, if you're there, pick up.
'Look, just get out of there now! I'm going to hide.
I can't come.
' The police or Ml5, anyone, just get out of there now! I'm sorry, darling.
I can't explain.
I have to hide.
Just take Ethan and go.
Just I love you, babe.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.
Our informant Baisley escaped.
- He's on the run.
- God help us! I need Baisley.
Harry, you've got to find him.
Home Secretary, it seemed to spook Baisley, bringing the deal forward.
Is there something I should know? Have you heard of the Henshaw Principle? Economic activity moves in peaks and troughs with the extremes lasting no longer than a couple of days.
The Henshaw Principle says even a rich economy can, in extreme circumstances, like excessive borrowing, find itself in what Henshaw calls an economic eclipse.
It only lasts for a couple of days, but it is the equivalent of temporary bankruptcy.
If there are no major outgoings during the eclipse, it passes and nobody notices.
It's happened once to Japan in '95 and in the US last year, but they were lucky.
No outgoings, no one noticed.
We entered the shadow of the eclipse at 2pm yesterday and we will be in it until 4.
25am on Saturday.
National debt on interest payments is due tomorrow at noon.
How much do we need? The payment is 2.
9 billion.
We think we can find 1.
7, giving us a shortfall of 1.
2 billion.
Without Baisley's information, we can't pay our national debt.
What?! We spent 60 billion bailing the banks out.
- Can't we borrow? - No, you don't understand.
We're in the shadow of the eclipse.
We can't undertake any unusual economic activity.
We must get through it without the markets noticing or there'll be a run on sterling.
By Tuesday, the pound will be worth 35 cents and by the end of next week, we might have hyperinflation.
Expect unemployment in the tens of millions.
- We need the bank's money.
- We've looked at every possibility.
We can make seizures at DeWits from illegal activity totalling £1.
5 billion, but we can't do that without Baisley's information.
To all intents and purposes, the UK is bankrupt until 4.
25 Saturday morning.
In two days, it'll be business as usual, but we don't have two days.
And you, how are you doing? Me? Well, you know, enjoying being the most unpopular man in the UK.
Good practice, should you ever want to run for PM.
- Any news on the group that met in Basel? - We're still digging.
Home Secretary, maybe I should put some men on you.
Your contact was scared.
Put everything you have on Baisley.
That's the only thing that can help us now.
- Dead? - All of them.
We went to pick up Baisley's partner.
She's dead too.
And her child.
- Baisley's stepson.
Both executed.
- Good God! We're scanning CCTV, but these guys were good.
There was DNA at the safe house that doesn't belong to Baisley or the officers.
- That's our best hope.
- Issue a DA-Notice to the press.
Nothing must get out.
If Baisley finds out his partner and her child were killed, he'll never give us those accounts.
They're sending him a message - keep quiet or it's your own kid next.
Local police have picked up the ex-wife and child.
Did he give any indication as to where he had hidden the DeWits information? He said it was well hidden in an easy-to-read format.
What does that mean? How did they know where we had him? The CIA? Sarah? All right, so we step up surveillance on Sarah.
Good, but the priority is finding Baisley.
Then I want the people who did this and whoever is behind them.
Lucas, can I have a word? The CIA is in turmoil.
Sarah is implicated.
We need to watch her because information is leaking and we know that she threw her boss over a balcony.
We cannot proceed on feelings.
Intelligence suggests that Walker was passing information to the Chinese.
Rumours, not intelligence.
Even so, a seven-storey fast track to a concrete floor isn't normal CIA procedure.
- Lucas, are you OK with this? - Yeah.
Yeah, Harry, I just - Yes, I can handle it.
- Find out what she knows, but be careful.
Is that the recording from the answering machine? Yeah.
We've been through it though.
There's nothing.
You know me.
I like to hear the voice.
I'm going to collect Baisley's ex.
You've lost him? Are you serious? This is insane.
I said you should give him to us.
A British citizen on British soil? Yeah, but you've no idea which patch of British soil he's on! This is bad.
- These guys are not going to stop.
- Guys? What guys? Sarah? OK, we found out yesterday that there's a $30-million bounty on Baisley's head.
I don't suppose you're going to tell me how you know all this? What's in it for me? The undying gratitude of the British people.
Oh, but I think I want more.
'Sophie! Sophie, if you're there, pick up! 'Just get out of there now! I'm going to hide.
I can't come.
'The police or Ml5, anyone, just get out of there now! 'I'm sorry, darling.
I can't explain.
I'm going to have to hide.
'Just take Ethan and go.
I love you, babe.
'I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.
' I'm here for the Baisleys.
It says Ml5.
How many of you does it take? Pam's already taken your lad down there.
I want my daughter! I want Leah! She's fine, Tina.
We have her safe.
That's what they said in the police station.
I want my girl.
Listen, you have to talk to me first, OK? Nothing's going to happen to her.
I won't let anyone near her, OK? Do you have any idea where your ex-husband might be? Is this Is this because Has he robbed the bank? He has, hasn't he? I knew he'd do something stupid! I'm not interested, I don't care about money! Tina, what makes you say that he's robbed the bank? He called last week, said he was going to be rich.
Tens of millions.
I thought it was just talk.
He likes to talk.
But I knew.
Somehow, deep down, I knew.
Tina, he said he was getting tens of millions from the bank? He said he deserved it.
He's not a bad person.
He loves Leah.
He loves Sophie's little boy Ethan.
Ready-made family, that's just him.
But he loves them.
He does.
It's just These days, he thinks loving someone is giving them cash.
- What do we know about the hit man? - Semyon Martova, ex-KGB.
Fibres found at the safe house match.
He is one of those that tried to get Baisley.
One team did both hits.
And we have a match on the DNA found outside the safe house.
"Shimon Tarkay, Mossad.
" What are the Israelis doing in this? No idea.
I want to reiterate the importance of finding this man.
Without Baisley's information, next week the UK will be a Third World country.
- So Baisley tried to bribe DeWits? - That's my guess.
He told his ex-wife that he was coming into tens of millions of pounds.
I think he'd decided he wanted a lot more than the measly 200 grand we offered him and was already bribing the bank when we brought him in.
I think he wants big money for what he has.
Maybe the FSB and Mossad have money in there they want to keep quiet about.
So when Baisley tries to bribe DeWits, the chief exec gets frightened and asks his two scariest customers for help.
Baisley's accessing his email.
Baisley's somewhere in EC2.
We have a team on their way.
- Can we contact him? - I'm trying.
It's a complex firewall.
- He's gone.
- Damn! Tariq, that phone technique, does it work even when the phone's switched off? - Yeah.
- You can remotely turn a phone on? - If we know where he is, yes.
- Will that not give his position away? If we act fast, we get him to dump and run.
How big is that cell? - 3.
6 kilometres.
- OK, get him on the phone.
Don't let him leave that cell.
Ruth, get on to that email he's sending.
It's coming in through a micro cell, number 8105.
That's Liverpool Street Station.
- Lucas? - Yeah, I'm on it.
- Come on.
How much time do we have? - It depends on their technology.
- Hello? - 'Are you good at remembering numbers? ' - Yeah, but who is this? - 'Good.
Remember this one.
'Then throw your phone away.
- 'Lt's a secure number.
Memorised it? ' - Yeah.
- Don't say "yes".
Repeat it back to me.
- 07700900978.
Good.
Throw the phone away.
Call us back as soon as you can.
- Walk away now.
Do not run.
Just walk.
- But 'Now! ' - Now what? - We just hope he has a good memory.
You have to come in.
They killed your men at the safe house.
They killed them! 'Listen to me, Ryan.
You have to come in.
' What are you talking about? I did come in.
They nearly killed me! Where are the DeWits accounts? You promised us that information.
You have to tell us, then we can protect you, Ryan.
You have to come in.
What about my daughter? Is Leah OK? She's fine.
And Sophie and Ethan? We have them and they're safe.
I've got a lock on him.
I'm sending this through, Lucas.
I'm sorry I was awkward, annoying.
I am annoying.
Sophie says that I am.
- 'I'm sorry.
' - Ryan, do you have that information? 'You have to tell us where it is.
' What's your name? Ros.
Ros Myers.
My family are safe, Ros, yeah? You swear? 'Yes.
' I swear.
Thank you.
We're there.
'No sign of him.
We've lost him.
Area's clear.
'Surveillance team stand down.
All units stand down.
' What now? We just wait? No, if we can't get Baisley, we find out who's after him.
Someone's funding that hit squad and it's time we paid a visit to our friendly bank manager.
Ros? Why did you give him your name? I needed a bond.
I thought he'd sense a lie.
How did it go with the psychologist after Jo's death? Did she talk about displacement? Ros, saving Baisley won't bring Jo back.
No.
It'll be nice for Baisley though.
Thanks for seeing us, Mr Perrot.
- We appreciate you're very busy.
- DeWits is happy to help.
We always comply with the laws of the states within which we operate.
Unless they're tax laws.
If any client has a lax approach to tax law, that's disappointing.
But any crime is their responsibility.
I believe Saddam Hussein was a client of yours.
Regular saver, was he? Prudent? It's illegal for me to discuss who is or who isn't a client.
But I can tell you that as well as world leaders, we have celebrities, industrialists, bankers, politicians We have Ryan Baisley, your missing assistant.
I hope you've got him under lock and key because he's breaking banking secrecy laws in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Jersey and about 15 other jurisdictions.
How do you know he's breaking banking secrecy laws? - I'm sorry? - I said we had him.
I didn't say he was telling us anything.
Well, I assume that's why he's I mean, why would he come to you? Does he have something to tell? This morning, somebody tried to kill Baisley.
You are required by the laws of all the jurisdictions you work within to co-operate with law enforcement in cases of criminal activity.
If you believe that one of our clients is implicated, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you which one and to produce a court order.
It doesn't surprise you that somebody is trying to murder one of your employees? Oh, yes.
Yes, it does.
I think we're done here.
The national debt interest payment is due in 17 hours, Harry.
If we can't pay that, the least we can expect is a ten-year depression.
The government goes bankrupt, we can't borrow and no public sector worker, no teacher, no doctor, no policeman, soldier or Ml5 operative will be paid for six months.
It's bad.
I'd like to make an attempt on the DeWits network.
I thought it was impossible to break into.
It is, but our new boy wonder has a plan.
If we can get in, we can cross-reference account numbers with corresponding transactions in regular banks.
That may give us enough to make seizures at DeWits and we'd no longer need Baisley's information.
Of course.
Give it a go.
- Yes? - 'Turn on the news.
' 'Questions are growing today 'about the Home Secretary's dealings with foreign businessmen.
'Having repeatedly said he was alone 'with the Albanian businessman Pal Mirot, 'photographs are to be published that show Nicholas Blake with three businessmen 'linked with organised crime.
' What? 'These photographs have been sent to every major newspaper in London 'and will be published tomorrow morning.
Speculation ' Harry, I didn't That is not me.
Harry, that is not me! I want to know if these are fake.
- And if they're real? - He doesn't deal with the Mafia.
- Anything on the Baisley email? - No, nothing.
It's a rambling apology to friends and colleagues.
One odd thing - he gets the date of his daughter's birthday wrong.
That isn't the kind of thing he'd get wrong.
We've put the CCTV footage through the face recognition software and we got this.
- Baisley.
Where is this? - Kensington.
Three hours ago.
Find out who he was calling.
It's time we paid a visit to DeWits ourselves.
Tariq, cometh the hour, cometh the geek.
Tariq, if you would DeWits use a quantum encryption to encode all transactions.
Uses quantum mechanics to encode information, but you cannot measure subatomic information without disturbing it.
What's he saying? You can't watch them.
They'll turn the system off.
You can't hack into it without breaking the fundamental laws of the universe.
You love all this, don't you? The entire network in their London office is secure.
No disk drives, no USBs.
Just one access point at the chief exec's terminal.
That's it.
This dummy will sit in their network invisibly, transmitting information to us.
All we have to do is have someone at Perrot's terminal while I try and hack into the system.
The hack will fail, but the system will go down to protect itself.
Bank security protocols say the chief exec and the head of security must then meet.
We install this in Perrot's machine when he goes to see his head of security, buying you a minute.
Can't we just break the fundamental laws of the universe? No, they're fundamental laws.
So I go into DeWits posing as this customer, Astanovic? Russian oligarch, banks at DeWits, but Perrot doesn't know what he looks like.
Just convince Perrot that you're the kind of man who has 48 million in the bank.
You were made for the part.
Mr Astanovic, there is no reason for you to be concerned.
Really? I thought someone in your organisation talks to Ml5.
What? No, I can't imagine where you heard such a thing.
Let me assure you With $48 million in your hands and one of your staff talking to Ml5, your assurances are the faeces of dogs! 'Lf that was happening and it really isn't,' let me put your mind at rest that it is something we would take steps to insure against.
What steps? Well, I can't say exactly, but DeWits has ways of protecting its assets.
Really? Well, I think you should tell me about your insurance or I will take all of my $48 million out of your bank.
Lucas, he's not going to bite.
Let's do this.
I'm uploading the hack now.
I can't.
I really can't.
Something wrong? A small problem with the system.
I won't be a moment.
Time to light him up, Lucas.
I don't like to wait.
And It's working.
I've got him.
You have four minutes before the isotopes decay, then I'll have no idea where he is.
Tariq, it's a completely different processor.
How many pins does it have? - 14.
- They've upgraded it.
It should click into place, but you must realign the output and input modes.
He's heading back.
Disconnect the blue wire, re-route it and click it into place.
- How? There's no connection.
- Eight seconds.
Just twist it round a pin.
It might work.
Five.
Lucas, get out now.
- What are we getting? - We're getting tons.
But the data is corrupted because of the bodge job Lucas had to do with the chip.
I'm getting account numbers, but most are missing digits.
- So we still need Baisley.
- Yeah.
There's something else here.
There's a huge account.
I mean huge.
Six billion dollars.
And? There's massive activity on this account from Switzerland.
Money in, money out.
From Basel.
All centred around the same five-day period when our boys met.
I don't know the account holder, but a huge tranche of money came from China.
I've been through the call records for the pay phone Baisley was at.
Guess who he was calling? DeWits.
Perrot's office.
We zoomed in on the CCTV to try and see what he said, but he said nothing.
He just pressed those six numbers.
That email Baisley sent, did he send it to Perrot? Yeah.
He sent it to everyone in his address book.
And he got his daughter's birthday wrong.
- Yeah.
- Can I see it? It's an account number.
The number he pressed into the keypad was a sort code.
See if this matches an account.
Yes, there's an account here at a regular high street bank.
Opened two days ago in the name of Leah Baisley, his daughter.
Christ! He's bargaining.
He's blackmailing Perrot.
He's sending Perrot his account details to transfer the money into.
It's suicide.
Perrot's men will kill him.
- Does it have an address? - 15 Dreydon Road, Camberwell.
You start talking! Look I just want a bit of what they have.
You see what these people have.
They have so much.
Their children have got personal assistants.
Personal assistants! I've dealt with tax returns for people who spend more on their dogs than I will ever earn in a year! The truly rich.
For them, this is just It's just a transaction, OK? That's all it is.
Baisley, when are you going to learn that they just want to shut you up? - I'm going to do a deal.
- They're not going to let you walk! Listen, I need to do a deal.
How the hell am I going to protect my family now? What have my kids got to look forward to now? - I will see what can be done.
- What? A couple of thousand pounds? Ten grand? I don't need toy money.
I need real money.
I need it! Go! Oh, God! Aaaargh! I've been running a check on our hit man and I came up with this.
It's Martova going through security at Moscow Airport this morning.
- Surely he was here? - I thought so.
I did some digging.
He checked in to the Stesovich Hotel in Moscow.
Two hours ago.
CCTV confirms it's him.
That's very clever for someone who was shot dead by Ros this morning.
That got me thinking and I had a look at our other guy, Tarkay, the Mossad agent? The DNA is a perfect match, but Shimon Tarkay broke three vertebrae skiing last month.
He can hardly walk.
- Chicken-cooping.
- I'm sorry? Take their DNA, find someone of similar build, hair colour, alter records, and wherever our men bleed, Semyon and Shimon will be blamed.
Favourite technique of the CIA when slipping someone into deep cover.
You've been lying to me.
Martin Lewis, ex-CIA.
Went off the radar eight years ago.
Now part of a team with this man, Richard Preslewski, former Marine, now dead.
Lewis has been running around London trying to kill Ryan Baisley.
Start talking because this has got CIA written all over it.
OK, don't start judging, Lucas.
You do that judging thing and it really - I don't judge.
- I'm not lying.
He was CIA.
Him and his boys.
We had this conflict resolution programme five years ago.
- Conflict resolution? - That was the thinking, the old us.
We don't do that.
There are certain types who, due to the stresses of the job, develop difficult traits.
Difficult in what sense? Well, they go off the rails, honey, into criminality.
And we thought, having invested hundreds of thousands in them already, why not train them a little more and have them - Indulging in criminality on your behalf? - Yeah.
You don't have to make it sound so sordid.
Lewis was part of a pilot group.
It didn't go very well.
- And you trained him? - We trained him, yeah.
And for the past five years, we have no single clue where he is or what he's been doing, except for turning people into bodies for money.
That's all I know, Lucas, I swear.
Harry Harry, something else has come up.
There's a record of a conversation.
An Ml6 asset in Islamabad referring to something called Nightingale.
Connected to a group that met in Basel.
Nightingale? Any idea what that is? No, I've run it through everything.
Nothing.
But the asset did say there was some CIA involvement.
Then the line went dead, conversation terminated.
CIA involvement? Do you think it could be Sarah? - I have no idea.
- OK.
Dig a little deeper, Ruth, without alerting 6.
Best not to wake them.
Actually, there is something else.
It's Ros.
She hasn't checked in.
We don't know where she is.
I think she hasn't accepted Jo's death.
I think this thing with Baisley has brought it back.
Oh? You've arranged an exchange with Baisley.
Where is it? You're trying to kill him.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I lost someone recently, a colleague.
I had to make a choice to let her die and I think it's affected my judgment.
My boss thinks I've got this psychological displacement thing going on.
He thinks I think that if I save Baisley, somehow I'll be saving her.
He thinks that I equate Baisley with her, which is odd because they're nothing alike.
I think I see her as an innocent, caught up in events that she really shouldn't have been caught up in, which is odd because it makes you wonder how I see myself.
Baisley, of course, is not at all innocent.
But maybe he is compared to you.
To us.
It's so strange how the mind works, isn't it? This doesn't scare me.
We're in England, not in China.
Ugh! You tell me where he is or I will kill you.
Baisley's headed for Euston Station.
Perrot set him up.
Martin Lewis is waiting for him.
Stairwell F, Northside.
Send CO19.
- Wait for the team.
- Yeah.
- I mean that, Ros.
- I know, Harry.
Baisley! Baisley, down! I've got you, I've got you.
Harry, the press, there are stories.
Stories are breaking Ruth, take a deep breath and tell me.
About the murder of Baisley's partner and her child.
'The bodies of a woman and young boy found in their house in South London 'have been identified as the common law family of missing banker Ryan Baisley.
'Police say it was an execution-type killing and are appealing for witnesses.
'Neighbours are in a state of total shock 'over the deaths of two popular members of the community.
'The five-year-old boy and middle-aged woman ' A consolation? No.
It's just cigarettes.
We need your information, Ryan.
We need it desperately.
You You said she was fine.
You said they were fine.
You lied.
Yes, I lied.
I lie a lot.
I have to.
But I'm not lying now.
We need those accounts, Ryan.
We've got two hours until the country's bankrupt.
They won't let me see the bodies.
They won't let you see the bodies because the people that killed them will be there waiting for you.
Your whole life will be different for you and your family.
We'll have to take you away from here to a different country.
You're going to have to hide for the rest of your life.
Money is no good to you now.
I did this to them.
I did.
I did it to them.
Where is it, Ryan? Please.
Where are the account numbers? I've found something.
- I didn't know what to do with it.
- It's an account in DeWits.
And? It belongs to the Home Secretary.
Is that four? Four million, yes.
He has no income that could account for this.
- I am 100% sure.
- We'll keep this to ourselves.
- Harry - There's no way this could be his money.
We should tell someone about this.
I know we should tell someone.
There's something else.
Ruth and Tariq have done some more digging inside CIA computers.
Last thing Walker searched for - airline tickets for CIA officers.
Sarah was at the meeting in Basel.
- Are you sure? - She was there.
Walker was on his way to finding that out.
He's dead.
There's more, Lucas.
The account that we found in DeWits, the $6 billion.
- It's a CIA account.
- I need to talk to her.
- As a member of Ml5 or as her lover? - I need to do this.
Whatever Nightingale is, whatever went on in Basel, these people bank with DeWits.
Perrot is responsible for the assassination attempts on Baisley and if Sarah is a member of Nightingale, she's been passing on information.
Walker died because he knew less than that.
Walker was working alone.
I'll have you listening in.
Let me talk to her.
Yes, Lucas, you should talk to her.
How do I play it? Give her something false, then let her off the hook.
Tell her we know about Basel, we know she killed Walker, we know it's a CIA account.
Do not tell her we know she was there.
Let's see if she wants to be honest with you.
Why did you kill your boss? 'We know you threw him from the balcony.
'We know of a group of intelligence experts meeting in Basel,' connected to an operation called Nightingale.
We also know that that same group have access to funds in a CIA account in excess of six billion dollars.
'Have you been spying on me, honey? What do you know about Basel? 'No, you're telling me what YOU know, why you threw your boss from a balcony.
' The CIA is in pieces.
There are people within who are violently opposed to the new regime, ideologues who are terrified that we are, in fact, about to lose the Cold War.
The Nightingale account was a CIA account, run by Walker.
Ruth, find out if that's true.
'How do you know so much about Basel? ' Is Harry listening to this, Lucas? No, Lucas, no! Tariq, get on to this.
Do something.
I really need you to answer my question.
Please.
I know about Basel because because because I was there.
Account 886625 is one of several that the CIA have in tax havens.
Obviously, we don't like it to get out, but we use them to pay bad people.
- Criminals, terrorists, bad people.
- Six billion dollars? No, those accounts should have no more than a few tens of thousands in them.
The DeWits account was controlled by Walker.
The money in there belongs to Nightingale.
They approached Walker, he went along with them, joined them and used the CIA account.
Harry, that account has never been run by Walker.
Sarah is the signatory on the Nightingale account.
Get a team over there now.
Is that why you killed him? Walker was corrupt, a traitor, but what I am doing is so far undercover that I would have killed him if he was snow-white.
Nobody can know what I'm doing.
And me? What do you think, honey? What are they doing that needs six billion dollars? I don't yet know, but I do know that Nightingale have operatives in intelligence services all over the world, in governments, cabinets.
I know about your Home Secretary, about his four million, that it's not his and that he's being set up.
Lewis.
- What? - What's he doing here? Oh, Jesus! He's after me.
My cover must be blown.
- Stay here.
- What are you doing? - Stay here.
- Do not take a risk.
Shoot him.
- He's more useful to us alive.
- No, he will kill you.
You shoot him first, Lucas.
Lucas! Drop it.
Slowly.
Turn around.
Drop it, Lucas.
No, not you.
Please God, not you! Now! Kneel.
- Sarah - Now, Lucas! Why didn't you just do what I said? Why didn't you You're with them.
Nightingale.
- Why didn't you just shoot? - Listen.
- It doesn't have to be like this.
- Yes, it does.
You know it does.
Was it you feeding information to Lewis? Perrot hired him, but you led him to Baisley.
To protect your friends and their money.
I can't let you walk out of here.
- They'll kill me.
It's you or me.
- Who are they? They? You have no idea how big they are.
They are taking over.
Sarah This isn't fair, is it? You deserve more than this.
You really do.
No, this isn't fair.
Goodbye, Lucas.
Take me with you.
'What concerns me is 'Does the Prime Minister wish you to resign? ' is making sure that the United Kingdom 'Do you think you should resign? Could you answer the question? 'Look, I have the full backing of my colleagues.
'Home Secretary, £4 million is an awful lot of money ' Well? We've recovered close to a billion and counting.
We'll make the payments.
The economy is safe.
- Home Secretary - I am no longer the Home Secretary.
You're just going to leave and let them win? - I'm finished.
- No, this four million is a set-up.
Give us time and we'll prove it.
When the British people wake up on Monday, they will have an economy to wake up to.
We did well.
You call this doing well? Someone said to me once, "Politics is victory chased by defeat.
"So make sure you develop a taste for two things.
"Blood "and strong liquor.
" Drink, Harry? Time for the circus.
Be careful, Harry.
'As the Home Secretary resigns amidst allegations of corruption and sleaze, 'we ask, "Are the security services part of the cover-up?" 'The Prime Minister has stated there will be a full and frank inquiry, 'saying there is no place for shady deals and cosy back-room chats, 'announcing a new era of transparency and honesty 'Also today it appears that tens of millions of pounds in lost revenue 'and illegal earnings have been recovered from a dodgy tax haven.
'But with politicians stashing their cash in the same bank that stands in the dock, 'we ask, "Can the people who run this country ever be trusted again?" 'Are these the last days of a government 'that no longer has the faith of the people? 'Ln a statement read to the press, the chief executive officer ' Are you OK? I'm angry.
More with myself than anything else.
I should have known it couldn't last.
A decent politician? Someone wanted him out and I need to know who.
Harry, do you want to get a drink? Yes, I think I do, Ruth.
Harry, you should see this.
It's the Nightingale account.
- They've transferred the money.
- When? - Minutes before we went in there.
- How? - They must've been warned.
- Transferred where? Pakistan.
All of the Nightingale money has gone to Pakistan.
'A Pakistani intelligence officer was stabbed this morning.
' Aaagh! - So who killed your officer? - The far right in India is growing.
They are not the only ones who will give up everything for what they believe! I need to know who that is.
Find out for me.
- He's going to kill me.
- Only you can stop this from happening.
An event like this could precipitate the kind of unrest unseen on these shores since the English Civil War.
Are you implying we may both have some bad apples in our cart? I got a list of mobile phones active in the same cell about the time of his death.
- And? - One of them was Sarah Caulfield's.
Sarah was no more than five metres away when he fell.
When I called Sam to meet, he told me he'd come by the office later.
She lied.
Plain and simple.
The question is, was she working for the Agency or had she gone freelance? - I really don't know.
- 'I suggest we find out.
' I don't care about that.
Things have changed now.
This is not the time to go quiet on us.
- You need to be listening to me.
Come on.
- You should be listening to me.
Listen Baisley, we are paying you a lot of money to blow DeWits Bank wide open! I don't think you've been listening to me.
Tell us where the information is! Why are you getting angry? She's getting angry.
I should be getting angry here.
Baisley, you have been secretly recording the names of depositors from one of the world's nastiest offshore banks.
Amongst those tax-dodging celebrities is a healthy smattering of drug barons, warlords and dictators.
What do you think they're going to want to do to you when they discover you have been recording their names? I wasn't ready.
You pulled me in early.
You said to record information for six months.
It has been four months.
- Give us the information you have! - Is she shouting at me? She's really mean, isn't she? Look, you have changed the terms of the agreement.
I think that that calls for a re-negotiation.
You get over $200,000 for those account numbers.
Please! Do you think I am stupid? Look at the security here! - My life is over now! - You came into this with your eyes open.
We told you the risks.
I just think that a more realistic figure would be five.
Million, I mean.
Five million.
Look, I have the DeWits accounts.
I have the names.
I have clear evidence of illegal earnings and tax evasion in the billions.
The economy's in the toilet.
We're all screwed without that money.
So, come on, what do I get? I'm giving you the most corrupt bank in history.
Where are you going? Cash point.
Five million, was it? I just think I should get something more! While you think about what you should get, think about this.
We're shouting at you, but some of the people whose names you've got, they don't shout, they scream, so you think about screaming.
I'm not scared, you know! You need me! - You know we'll have to pay him? - Yeah.
You should give him to us.
What for? A nice little holiday in Algeria? A spot of water sports? Yeah, we don't do that any more.
No, got hybrid cars and everything now.
Excuse me! I just need to get a cigarette.
Oh, come on, I'll open the window! Agh! Agh! 'You're through to Sophie and Ethan Baisley.
Please leave a message.
' 'Sophie! Sophie, if you're there, pick up.
'Look, just get out of there now! I'm going to hide.
I can't come.
' The police or Ml5, anyone, just get out of there now! I'm sorry, darling.
I can't explain.
I have to hide.
Just take Ethan and go.
Just I love you, babe.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.
Our informant Baisley escaped.
- He's on the run.
- God help us! I need Baisley.
Harry, you've got to find him.
Home Secretary, it seemed to spook Baisley, bringing the deal forward.
Is there something I should know? Have you heard of the Henshaw Principle? Economic activity moves in peaks and troughs with the extremes lasting no longer than a couple of days.
The Henshaw Principle says even a rich economy can, in extreme circumstances, like excessive borrowing, find itself in what Henshaw calls an economic eclipse.
It only lasts for a couple of days, but it is the equivalent of temporary bankruptcy.
If there are no major outgoings during the eclipse, it passes and nobody notices.
It's happened once to Japan in '95 and in the US last year, but they were lucky.
No outgoings, no one noticed.
We entered the shadow of the eclipse at 2pm yesterday and we will be in it until 4.
25am on Saturday.
National debt on interest payments is due tomorrow at noon.
How much do we need? The payment is 2.
9 billion.
We think we can find 1.
7, giving us a shortfall of 1.
2 billion.
Without Baisley's information, we can't pay our national debt.
What?! We spent 60 billion bailing the banks out.
- Can't we borrow? - No, you don't understand.
We're in the shadow of the eclipse.
We can't undertake any unusual economic activity.
We must get through it without the markets noticing or there'll be a run on sterling.
By Tuesday, the pound will be worth 35 cents and by the end of next week, we might have hyperinflation.
Expect unemployment in the tens of millions.
- We need the bank's money.
- We've looked at every possibility.
We can make seizures at DeWits from illegal activity totalling £1.
5 billion, but we can't do that without Baisley's information.
To all intents and purposes, the UK is bankrupt until 4.
25 Saturday morning.
In two days, it'll be business as usual, but we don't have two days.
And you, how are you doing? Me? Well, you know, enjoying being the most unpopular man in the UK.
Good practice, should you ever want to run for PM.
- Any news on the group that met in Basel? - We're still digging.
Home Secretary, maybe I should put some men on you.
Your contact was scared.
Put everything you have on Baisley.
That's the only thing that can help us now.
- Dead? - All of them.
We went to pick up Baisley's partner.
She's dead too.
And her child.
- Baisley's stepson.
Both executed.
- Good God! We're scanning CCTV, but these guys were good.
There was DNA at the safe house that doesn't belong to Baisley or the officers.
- That's our best hope.
- Issue a DA-Notice to the press.
Nothing must get out.
If Baisley finds out his partner and her child were killed, he'll never give us those accounts.
They're sending him a message - keep quiet or it's your own kid next.
Local police have picked up the ex-wife and child.
Did he give any indication as to where he had hidden the DeWits information? He said it was well hidden in an easy-to-read format.
What does that mean? How did they know where we had him? The CIA? Sarah? All right, so we step up surveillance on Sarah.
Good, but the priority is finding Baisley.
Then I want the people who did this and whoever is behind them.
Lucas, can I have a word? The CIA is in turmoil.
Sarah is implicated.
We need to watch her because information is leaking and we know that she threw her boss over a balcony.
We cannot proceed on feelings.
Intelligence suggests that Walker was passing information to the Chinese.
Rumours, not intelligence.
Even so, a seven-storey fast track to a concrete floor isn't normal CIA procedure.
- Lucas, are you OK with this? - Yeah.
Yeah, Harry, I just - Yes, I can handle it.
- Find out what she knows, but be careful.
Is that the recording from the answering machine? Yeah.
We've been through it though.
There's nothing.
You know me.
I like to hear the voice.
I'm going to collect Baisley's ex.
You've lost him? Are you serious? This is insane.
I said you should give him to us.
A British citizen on British soil? Yeah, but you've no idea which patch of British soil he's on! This is bad.
- These guys are not going to stop.
- Guys? What guys? Sarah? OK, we found out yesterday that there's a $30-million bounty on Baisley's head.
I don't suppose you're going to tell me how you know all this? What's in it for me? The undying gratitude of the British people.
Oh, but I think I want more.
'Sophie! Sophie, if you're there, pick up! 'Just get out of there now! I'm going to hide.
I can't come.
'The police or Ml5, anyone, just get out of there now! 'I'm sorry, darling.
I can't explain.
I'm going to have to hide.
'Just take Ethan and go.
I love you, babe.
'I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, darling.
' I'm here for the Baisleys.
It says Ml5.
How many of you does it take? Pam's already taken your lad down there.
I want my daughter! I want Leah! She's fine, Tina.
We have her safe.
That's what they said in the police station.
I want my girl.
Listen, you have to talk to me first, OK? Nothing's going to happen to her.
I won't let anyone near her, OK? Do you have any idea where your ex-husband might be? Is this Is this because Has he robbed the bank? He has, hasn't he? I knew he'd do something stupid! I'm not interested, I don't care about money! Tina, what makes you say that he's robbed the bank? He called last week, said he was going to be rich.
Tens of millions.
I thought it was just talk.
He likes to talk.
But I knew.
Somehow, deep down, I knew.
Tina, he said he was getting tens of millions from the bank? He said he deserved it.
He's not a bad person.
He loves Leah.
He loves Sophie's little boy Ethan.
Ready-made family, that's just him.
But he loves them.
He does.
It's just These days, he thinks loving someone is giving them cash.
- What do we know about the hit man? - Semyon Martova, ex-KGB.
Fibres found at the safe house match.
He is one of those that tried to get Baisley.
One team did both hits.
And we have a match on the DNA found outside the safe house.
"Shimon Tarkay, Mossad.
" What are the Israelis doing in this? No idea.
I want to reiterate the importance of finding this man.
Without Baisley's information, next week the UK will be a Third World country.
- So Baisley tried to bribe DeWits? - That's my guess.
He told his ex-wife that he was coming into tens of millions of pounds.
I think he'd decided he wanted a lot more than the measly 200 grand we offered him and was already bribing the bank when we brought him in.
I think he wants big money for what he has.
Maybe the FSB and Mossad have money in there they want to keep quiet about.
So when Baisley tries to bribe DeWits, the chief exec gets frightened and asks his two scariest customers for help.
Baisley's accessing his email.
Baisley's somewhere in EC2.
We have a team on their way.
- Can we contact him? - I'm trying.
It's a complex firewall.
- He's gone.
- Damn! Tariq, that phone technique, does it work even when the phone's switched off? - Yeah.
- You can remotely turn a phone on? - If we know where he is, yes.
- Will that not give his position away? If we act fast, we get him to dump and run.
How big is that cell? - 3.
6 kilometres.
- OK, get him on the phone.
Don't let him leave that cell.
Ruth, get on to that email he's sending.
It's coming in through a micro cell, number 8105.
That's Liverpool Street Station.
- Lucas? - Yeah, I'm on it.
- Come on.
How much time do we have? - It depends on their technology.
- Hello? - 'Are you good at remembering numbers? ' - Yeah, but who is this? - 'Good.
Remember this one.
'Then throw your phone away.
- 'Lt's a secure number.
Memorised it? ' - Yeah.
- Don't say "yes".
Repeat it back to me.
- 07700900978.
Good.
Throw the phone away.
Call us back as soon as you can.
- Walk away now.
Do not run.
Just walk.
- But 'Now! ' - Now what? - We just hope he has a good memory.
You have to come in.
They killed your men at the safe house.
They killed them! 'Listen to me, Ryan.
You have to come in.
' What are you talking about? I did come in.
They nearly killed me! Where are the DeWits accounts? You promised us that information.
You have to tell us, then we can protect you, Ryan.
You have to come in.
What about my daughter? Is Leah OK? She's fine.
And Sophie and Ethan? We have them and they're safe.
I've got a lock on him.
I'm sending this through, Lucas.
I'm sorry I was awkward, annoying.
I am annoying.
Sophie says that I am.
- 'I'm sorry.
' - Ryan, do you have that information? 'You have to tell us where it is.
' What's your name? Ros.
Ros Myers.
My family are safe, Ros, yeah? You swear? 'Yes.
' I swear.
Thank you.
We're there.
'No sign of him.
We've lost him.
Area's clear.
'Surveillance team stand down.
All units stand down.
' What now? We just wait? No, if we can't get Baisley, we find out who's after him.
Someone's funding that hit squad and it's time we paid a visit to our friendly bank manager.
Ros? Why did you give him your name? I needed a bond.
I thought he'd sense a lie.
How did it go with the psychologist after Jo's death? Did she talk about displacement? Ros, saving Baisley won't bring Jo back.
No.
It'll be nice for Baisley though.
Thanks for seeing us, Mr Perrot.
- We appreciate you're very busy.
- DeWits is happy to help.
We always comply with the laws of the states within which we operate.
Unless they're tax laws.
If any client has a lax approach to tax law, that's disappointing.
But any crime is their responsibility.
I believe Saddam Hussein was a client of yours.
Regular saver, was he? Prudent? It's illegal for me to discuss who is or who isn't a client.
But I can tell you that as well as world leaders, we have celebrities, industrialists, bankers, politicians We have Ryan Baisley, your missing assistant.
I hope you've got him under lock and key because he's breaking banking secrecy laws in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Jersey and about 15 other jurisdictions.
How do you know he's breaking banking secrecy laws? - I'm sorry? - I said we had him.
I didn't say he was telling us anything.
Well, I assume that's why he's I mean, why would he come to you? Does he have something to tell? This morning, somebody tried to kill Baisley.
You are required by the laws of all the jurisdictions you work within to co-operate with law enforcement in cases of criminal activity.
If you believe that one of our clients is implicated, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you which one and to produce a court order.
It doesn't surprise you that somebody is trying to murder one of your employees? Oh, yes.
Yes, it does.
I think we're done here.
The national debt interest payment is due in 17 hours, Harry.
If we can't pay that, the least we can expect is a ten-year depression.
The government goes bankrupt, we can't borrow and no public sector worker, no teacher, no doctor, no policeman, soldier or Ml5 operative will be paid for six months.
It's bad.
I'd like to make an attempt on the DeWits network.
I thought it was impossible to break into.
It is, but our new boy wonder has a plan.
If we can get in, we can cross-reference account numbers with corresponding transactions in regular banks.
That may give us enough to make seizures at DeWits and we'd no longer need Baisley's information.
Of course.
Give it a go.
- Yes? - 'Turn on the news.
' 'Questions are growing today 'about the Home Secretary's dealings with foreign businessmen.
'Having repeatedly said he was alone 'with the Albanian businessman Pal Mirot, 'photographs are to be published that show Nicholas Blake with three businessmen 'linked with organised crime.
' What? 'These photographs have been sent to every major newspaper in London 'and will be published tomorrow morning.
Speculation ' Harry, I didn't That is not me.
Harry, that is not me! I want to know if these are fake.
- And if they're real? - He doesn't deal with the Mafia.
- Anything on the Baisley email? - No, nothing.
It's a rambling apology to friends and colleagues.
One odd thing - he gets the date of his daughter's birthday wrong.
That isn't the kind of thing he'd get wrong.
We've put the CCTV footage through the face recognition software and we got this.
- Baisley.
Where is this? - Kensington.
Three hours ago.
Find out who he was calling.
It's time we paid a visit to DeWits ourselves.
Tariq, cometh the hour, cometh the geek.
Tariq, if you would DeWits use a quantum encryption to encode all transactions.
Uses quantum mechanics to encode information, but you cannot measure subatomic information without disturbing it.
What's he saying? You can't watch them.
They'll turn the system off.
You can't hack into it without breaking the fundamental laws of the universe.
You love all this, don't you? The entire network in their London office is secure.
No disk drives, no USBs.
Just one access point at the chief exec's terminal.
That's it.
This dummy will sit in their network invisibly, transmitting information to us.
All we have to do is have someone at Perrot's terminal while I try and hack into the system.
The hack will fail, but the system will go down to protect itself.
Bank security protocols say the chief exec and the head of security must then meet.
We install this in Perrot's machine when he goes to see his head of security, buying you a minute.
Can't we just break the fundamental laws of the universe? No, they're fundamental laws.
So I go into DeWits posing as this customer, Astanovic? Russian oligarch, banks at DeWits, but Perrot doesn't know what he looks like.
Just convince Perrot that you're the kind of man who has 48 million in the bank.
You were made for the part.
Mr Astanovic, there is no reason for you to be concerned.
Really? I thought someone in your organisation talks to Ml5.
What? No, I can't imagine where you heard such a thing.
Let me assure you With $48 million in your hands and one of your staff talking to Ml5, your assurances are the faeces of dogs! 'Lf that was happening and it really isn't,' let me put your mind at rest that it is something we would take steps to insure against.
What steps? Well, I can't say exactly, but DeWits has ways of protecting its assets.
Really? Well, I think you should tell me about your insurance or I will take all of my $48 million out of your bank.
Lucas, he's not going to bite.
Let's do this.
I'm uploading the hack now.
I can't.
I really can't.
Something wrong? A small problem with the system.
I won't be a moment.
Time to light him up, Lucas.
I don't like to wait.
And It's working.
I've got him.
You have four minutes before the isotopes decay, then I'll have no idea where he is.
Tariq, it's a completely different processor.
How many pins does it have? - 14.
- They've upgraded it.
It should click into place, but you must realign the output and input modes.
He's heading back.
Disconnect the blue wire, re-route it and click it into place.
- How? There's no connection.
- Eight seconds.
Just twist it round a pin.
It might work.
Five.
Lucas, get out now.
- What are we getting? - We're getting tons.
But the data is corrupted because of the bodge job Lucas had to do with the chip.
I'm getting account numbers, but most are missing digits.
- So we still need Baisley.
- Yeah.
There's something else here.
There's a huge account.
I mean huge.
Six billion dollars.
And? There's massive activity on this account from Switzerland.
Money in, money out.
From Basel.
All centred around the same five-day period when our boys met.
I don't know the account holder, but a huge tranche of money came from China.
I've been through the call records for the pay phone Baisley was at.
Guess who he was calling? DeWits.
Perrot's office.
We zoomed in on the CCTV to try and see what he said, but he said nothing.
He just pressed those six numbers.
That email Baisley sent, did he send it to Perrot? Yeah.
He sent it to everyone in his address book.
And he got his daughter's birthday wrong.
- Yeah.
- Can I see it? It's an account number.
The number he pressed into the keypad was a sort code.
See if this matches an account.
Yes, there's an account here at a regular high street bank.
Opened two days ago in the name of Leah Baisley, his daughter.
Christ! He's bargaining.
He's blackmailing Perrot.
He's sending Perrot his account details to transfer the money into.
It's suicide.
Perrot's men will kill him.
- Does it have an address? - 15 Dreydon Road, Camberwell.
You start talking! Look I just want a bit of what they have.
You see what these people have.
They have so much.
Their children have got personal assistants.
Personal assistants! I've dealt with tax returns for people who spend more on their dogs than I will ever earn in a year! The truly rich.
For them, this is just It's just a transaction, OK? That's all it is.
Baisley, when are you going to learn that they just want to shut you up? - I'm going to do a deal.
- They're not going to let you walk! Listen, I need to do a deal.
How the hell am I going to protect my family now? What have my kids got to look forward to now? - I will see what can be done.
- What? A couple of thousand pounds? Ten grand? I don't need toy money.
I need real money.
I need it! Go! Oh, God! Aaaargh! I've been running a check on our hit man and I came up with this.
It's Martova going through security at Moscow Airport this morning.
- Surely he was here? - I thought so.
I did some digging.
He checked in to the Stesovich Hotel in Moscow.
Two hours ago.
CCTV confirms it's him.
That's very clever for someone who was shot dead by Ros this morning.
That got me thinking and I had a look at our other guy, Tarkay, the Mossad agent? The DNA is a perfect match, but Shimon Tarkay broke three vertebrae skiing last month.
He can hardly walk.
- Chicken-cooping.
- I'm sorry? Take their DNA, find someone of similar build, hair colour, alter records, and wherever our men bleed, Semyon and Shimon will be blamed.
Favourite technique of the CIA when slipping someone into deep cover.
You've been lying to me.
Martin Lewis, ex-CIA.
Went off the radar eight years ago.
Now part of a team with this man, Richard Preslewski, former Marine, now dead.
Lewis has been running around London trying to kill Ryan Baisley.
Start talking because this has got CIA written all over it.
OK, don't start judging, Lucas.
You do that judging thing and it really - I don't judge.
- I'm not lying.
He was CIA.
Him and his boys.
We had this conflict resolution programme five years ago.
- Conflict resolution? - That was the thinking, the old us.
We don't do that.
There are certain types who, due to the stresses of the job, develop difficult traits.
Difficult in what sense? Well, they go off the rails, honey, into criminality.
And we thought, having invested hundreds of thousands in them already, why not train them a little more and have them - Indulging in criminality on your behalf? - Yeah.
You don't have to make it sound so sordid.
Lewis was part of a pilot group.
It didn't go very well.
- And you trained him? - We trained him, yeah.
And for the past five years, we have no single clue where he is or what he's been doing, except for turning people into bodies for money.
That's all I know, Lucas, I swear.
Harry Harry, something else has come up.
There's a record of a conversation.
An Ml6 asset in Islamabad referring to something called Nightingale.
Connected to a group that met in Basel.
Nightingale? Any idea what that is? No, I've run it through everything.
Nothing.
But the asset did say there was some CIA involvement.
Then the line went dead, conversation terminated.
CIA involvement? Do you think it could be Sarah? - I have no idea.
- OK.
Dig a little deeper, Ruth, without alerting 6.
Best not to wake them.
Actually, there is something else.
It's Ros.
She hasn't checked in.
We don't know where she is.
I think she hasn't accepted Jo's death.
I think this thing with Baisley has brought it back.
Oh? You've arranged an exchange with Baisley.
Where is it? You're trying to kill him.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I lost someone recently, a colleague.
I had to make a choice to let her die and I think it's affected my judgment.
My boss thinks I've got this psychological displacement thing going on.
He thinks I think that if I save Baisley, somehow I'll be saving her.
He thinks that I equate Baisley with her, which is odd because they're nothing alike.
I think I see her as an innocent, caught up in events that she really shouldn't have been caught up in, which is odd because it makes you wonder how I see myself.
Baisley, of course, is not at all innocent.
But maybe he is compared to you.
To us.
It's so strange how the mind works, isn't it? This doesn't scare me.
We're in England, not in China.
Ugh! You tell me where he is or I will kill you.
Baisley's headed for Euston Station.
Perrot set him up.
Martin Lewis is waiting for him.
Stairwell F, Northside.
Send CO19.
- Wait for the team.
- Yeah.
- I mean that, Ros.
- I know, Harry.
Baisley! Baisley, down! I've got you, I've got you.
Harry, the press, there are stories.
Stories are breaking Ruth, take a deep breath and tell me.
About the murder of Baisley's partner and her child.
'The bodies of a woman and young boy found in their house in South London 'have been identified as the common law family of missing banker Ryan Baisley.
'Police say it was an execution-type killing and are appealing for witnesses.
'Neighbours are in a state of total shock 'over the deaths of two popular members of the community.
'The five-year-old boy and middle-aged woman ' A consolation? No.
It's just cigarettes.
We need your information, Ryan.
We need it desperately.
You You said she was fine.
You said they were fine.
You lied.
Yes, I lied.
I lie a lot.
I have to.
But I'm not lying now.
We need those accounts, Ryan.
We've got two hours until the country's bankrupt.
They won't let me see the bodies.
They won't let you see the bodies because the people that killed them will be there waiting for you.
Your whole life will be different for you and your family.
We'll have to take you away from here to a different country.
You're going to have to hide for the rest of your life.
Money is no good to you now.
I did this to them.
I did.
I did it to them.
Where is it, Ryan? Please.
Where are the account numbers? I've found something.
- I didn't know what to do with it.
- It's an account in DeWits.
And? It belongs to the Home Secretary.
Is that four? Four million, yes.
He has no income that could account for this.
- I am 100% sure.
- We'll keep this to ourselves.
- Harry - There's no way this could be his money.
We should tell someone about this.
I know we should tell someone.
There's something else.
Ruth and Tariq have done some more digging inside CIA computers.
Last thing Walker searched for - airline tickets for CIA officers.
Sarah was at the meeting in Basel.
- Are you sure? - She was there.
Walker was on his way to finding that out.
He's dead.
There's more, Lucas.
The account that we found in DeWits, the $6 billion.
- It's a CIA account.
- I need to talk to her.
- As a member of Ml5 or as her lover? - I need to do this.
Whatever Nightingale is, whatever went on in Basel, these people bank with DeWits.
Perrot is responsible for the assassination attempts on Baisley and if Sarah is a member of Nightingale, she's been passing on information.
Walker died because he knew less than that.
Walker was working alone.
I'll have you listening in.
Let me talk to her.
Yes, Lucas, you should talk to her.
How do I play it? Give her something false, then let her off the hook.
Tell her we know about Basel, we know she killed Walker, we know it's a CIA account.
Do not tell her we know she was there.
Let's see if she wants to be honest with you.
Why did you kill your boss? 'We know you threw him from the balcony.
'We know of a group of intelligence experts meeting in Basel,' connected to an operation called Nightingale.
We also know that that same group have access to funds in a CIA account in excess of six billion dollars.
'Have you been spying on me, honey? What do you know about Basel? 'No, you're telling me what YOU know, why you threw your boss from a balcony.
' The CIA is in pieces.
There are people within who are violently opposed to the new regime, ideologues who are terrified that we are, in fact, about to lose the Cold War.
The Nightingale account was a CIA account, run by Walker.
Ruth, find out if that's true.
'How do you know so much about Basel? ' Is Harry listening to this, Lucas? No, Lucas, no! Tariq, get on to this.
Do something.
I really need you to answer my question.
Please.
I know about Basel because because because I was there.
Account 886625 is one of several that the CIA have in tax havens.
Obviously, we don't like it to get out, but we use them to pay bad people.
- Criminals, terrorists, bad people.
- Six billion dollars? No, those accounts should have no more than a few tens of thousands in them.
The DeWits account was controlled by Walker.
The money in there belongs to Nightingale.
They approached Walker, he went along with them, joined them and used the CIA account.
Harry, that account has never been run by Walker.
Sarah is the signatory on the Nightingale account.
Get a team over there now.
Is that why you killed him? Walker was corrupt, a traitor, but what I am doing is so far undercover that I would have killed him if he was snow-white.
Nobody can know what I'm doing.
And me? What do you think, honey? What are they doing that needs six billion dollars? I don't yet know, but I do know that Nightingale have operatives in intelligence services all over the world, in governments, cabinets.
I know about your Home Secretary, about his four million, that it's not his and that he's being set up.
Lewis.
- What? - What's he doing here? Oh, Jesus! He's after me.
My cover must be blown.
- Stay here.
- What are you doing? - Stay here.
- Do not take a risk.
Shoot him.
- He's more useful to us alive.
- No, he will kill you.
You shoot him first, Lucas.
Lucas! Drop it.
Slowly.
Turn around.
Drop it, Lucas.
No, not you.
Please God, not you! Now! Kneel.
- Sarah - Now, Lucas! Why didn't you just do what I said? Why didn't you You're with them.
Nightingale.
- Why didn't you just shoot? - Listen.
- It doesn't have to be like this.
- Yes, it does.
You know it does.
Was it you feeding information to Lewis? Perrot hired him, but you led him to Baisley.
To protect your friends and their money.
I can't let you walk out of here.
- They'll kill me.
It's you or me.
- Who are they? They? You have no idea how big they are.
They are taking over.
Sarah This isn't fair, is it? You deserve more than this.
You really do.
No, this isn't fair.
Goodbye, Lucas.
Take me with you.
'What concerns me is 'Does the Prime Minister wish you to resign? ' is making sure that the United Kingdom 'Do you think you should resign? Could you answer the question? 'Look, I have the full backing of my colleagues.
'Home Secretary, £4 million is an awful lot of money ' Well? We've recovered close to a billion and counting.
We'll make the payments.
The economy is safe.
- Home Secretary - I am no longer the Home Secretary.
You're just going to leave and let them win? - I'm finished.
- No, this four million is a set-up.
Give us time and we'll prove it.
When the British people wake up on Monday, they will have an economy to wake up to.
We did well.
You call this doing well? Someone said to me once, "Politics is victory chased by defeat.
"So make sure you develop a taste for two things.
"Blood "and strong liquor.
" Drink, Harry? Time for the circus.
Be careful, Harry.
'As the Home Secretary resigns amidst allegations of corruption and sleaze, 'we ask, "Are the security services part of the cover-up?" 'The Prime Minister has stated there will be a full and frank inquiry, 'saying there is no place for shady deals and cosy back-room chats, 'announcing a new era of transparency and honesty 'Also today it appears that tens of millions of pounds in lost revenue 'and illegal earnings have been recovered from a dodgy tax haven.
'But with politicians stashing their cash in the same bank that stands in the dock, 'we ask, "Can the people who run this country ever be trusted again?" 'Are these the last days of a government 'that no longer has the faith of the people? 'Ln a statement read to the press, the chief executive officer ' Are you OK? I'm angry.
More with myself than anything else.
I should have known it couldn't last.
A decent politician? Someone wanted him out and I need to know who.
Harry, do you want to get a drink? Yes, I think I do, Ruth.
Harry, you should see this.
It's the Nightingale account.
- They've transferred the money.
- When? - Minutes before we went in there.
- How? - They must've been warned.
- Transferred where? Pakistan.
All of the Nightingale money has gone to Pakistan.
'A Pakistani intelligence officer was stabbed this morning.
' Aaagh! - So who killed your officer? - The far right in India is growing.
They are not the only ones who will give up everything for what they believe! I need to know who that is.
Find out for me.
- He's going to kill me.
- Only you can stop this from happening.
An event like this could precipitate the kind of unrest unseen on these shores since the English Civil War.
